Too much time on how things SHOULD be tends to make you lose sight of the "just have fun with it" aspect. For example: L33t gamers. No names will be mentioned, just think about it for a moment.
    Whatever on the numbers, but I have to stand in the camp with Darzer... and what Stray responded also makes sense about how fun is subjective and if someone 'whines' avoidance will happen.

    In reference to snobbish behavior? Damage like WHF said.

    I was pretty clear on that, I just saw so many people saying that they'd always take a certain 'player' over a certain AT that I'd rather have a player that I know isn't going to freak out over one that will (And I'm guilty of this myself sometimes, freaking out over perhaps Detention Field... Not so much force bubble). It's about having a good time.

    I'm always willing to give the player who has perfect AT build a chance. But it's never a question of am I going to ask that person first. I'm going to talk to my globals, then people on my globals that I know, then once I've filled most of the team, then and only then will I perhaps look for people I don't know.

    So Player First.

    However if someone else joins the team and suggests someone to join it as well and they have what I would prefer/want I will generally take them sight unseen. You meet new people that way or end up running with people you've known about but haven't teamed with before.

    To put it more succinctly, I'd rather have a Fun Player looking to have a Good Time, than a Well-Known Player looking to do everything Perfect, but I'll take Unknown to Me Players on occasion to meet New Ones.

    Edit: One last note, I've also seen that sometimes it takes a mish or two for people to synergize with a pre-existing team makeup. The ones who don't hang around long enough for that synergy to happen generally bother me because they've already made their mind up before the team has had a chance to work.

  7. Personally, I'd rather play with people I know and like than 'perfect' players even. Because if everything doesn't go okay and I'm with those people, the ones I know and like, it's not a catastrophe.

    And while good players may know what to expect from certain ATs some of them can't play those ATs for ****. It may not be from a lack of trying but from a lack of patience for the AT.

    However it comes down to the player ultimately. When running say a MoSTF, the players you invite are more than likely to have the ATs necessary to get it handled. You don't have to be a perfect player, just one willing to work with teams. If you're not willing to work with the team you join, you may as well not be there.

    Yeah the more and more we play with the system the more and more I find I like about it. Plus seeing as I'm trying to get day jobs badges on my badger, I'm constantly playing other toons and they are constantly getting patrol xp. Together it all makes sense.

    -Swuppers
    I'm game. We hadn't decided a server for Elyos yet and I did sort of want a West coast server for something seeing as Israphel is East.

    Good to have you along for the ride Swup

    Under options you have the ability to auto accept sk's or exemps from 1-50. It's a slider bar. Go check it out. First two options under General. Team Options.

    It took me an hour before I could do it myself so keep trying and you just might be able to
    The list keeps changing, so Frost keep at it. When I originally posted it said Elyos only but Ariel was completely open. Now Ariel is locked in one state I forget.

    Just keep at it, and you'll get your toons in

    Back to the original topic:
    I tried creating an Asmodian on Israphel earlier, but during caracter creation it forced disconnected me. Now, I can log in...select Israphel and it tells me that I cannot create an Asmodian there. Pretty pissed off right now. Sent support and email to get that server cleared of whatever is preventing me to make the race I want.
    This doesn't bode well for you

    Those are just the vocal ones. They probably will have more than that attending in all honesty. Not all of us live on the forums. You should know that, Bud.
